I'll watch you two, and give the unbiased play by play...
as it is right now...
HB needs 230 more posts until he reaches 2,000
At his current average of 1.732 posts per day
He will reach 2,000 in 132.794457 days
Which would be on or around Jan 2, 2011
Junior needs 985 more posts until he reaches 2,ooo
At his current average of 4.491 posts per day
He will reach 2,000 in 219.327544 days
Which would be on or around March 30, 2011
This means that at their current rates,
HB would reach 2,000 86.5 days earlier than HB
To win, Junior would need to raise his average to over 7.465 posts per day in order to tie HB. This means he would need adding 2.974 more posts per day for the next 132 days.
All of this Despite a difference of 2 years 2 months, and 3 days between registration dates (HB being the earlier of the two)GAME ON GENTLEMAN!!!!!!
